Even though the series sets in Kansas, the actual shooting locations were different. According to our sources, The first season of Somebody Somewhere was originally filmed inside Chicago, Illinois during Summer 2021. Filming began in May 2021 and wrapped up in Sep 2021.

Most of the filming was done around suburban Chicago primarily in Lockport and Warrenville. Some scenes were also shot inside Lemont and Naperville.

Chicago was picked as the major filming location by the creators because of its accessible talent pool and rural environment. The place is incredibly grounded and that’s why Hannah felt prejudiced while shooting was going on.

Sources suggest that the crew is expected to return to the same towns along with some new suburbs of Chicago for the filming of Somebody Somewhere Season 2. Joliet and Bolingbrook are rumored to feature in the second part of ‘Somebody Somewhere’. The filming for a new season will begin in 2022, a source reported.
